I won't add a vote but merely make the observation that one of the great 
things about Linux is that we have choice, and that choice can be made 
from personal preference as well as from a consideration of the task to 
be achieved. Any discussion of what is best, is, in my view, fruitless 
and a waste of time unless it is qualified by "best at what, and for whom?".

I guess I'm conservative (note the lower case "c"!), as I run vanilla 
Debian Woody, not even X installed - all command line stuff, but my 
interest is servers that will remain up for months, years even. Trouble 
is they run so well I forget how to do certain things when I want to 
change something!

Remember if you don't like your first choice you can always change!
